The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - Chapter 136



Slaughter (3)

In an instant, there was a small flash.

It was a phenomenon that occurred from the tip of Prince 1’s sword, and it drew a long tail like a sea star leaving a trail in the air.

“… … !”

Then, as if the atmosphere exploded, a red flash rose from the trajectory.

It was something Wilford had never seen before.

… … It was literally a harbinger of ruin.

Coo-goo-goo-!

“Huh, huh… … !”

A weak vibration that begins to be felt from the ground. It soon became a terrifying roar that made hair stand on end.

At the same time, Wilford’s trembling legs lost strength and collapsed.

My ears were deafened.

At least it wasn’t because of this vibration, I just thought so.

“No, no way… … .”

Shu Woo-wook-

Kwagwagwagwang-!

The mountain that had been greening itself was no longer there.

Red waves left scars on the earth. It wasn’t enough that it tore the mountain apart, and it was repeatedly beaten as if it was going to erase even the traces of it.

As a result, all that was left was the crumbling earth and trees.

A mountain that was fine just a while ago… … It collapses and disappears according to the touch of one human being.

‘… … Is this really a divine power that humans can display?’

Awakening of the Master of the Magic Tower.

After that, Wilford thought there was nothing to be surprised about, but the impact of this non-ideal situation was even more enormous.

At least as far as he knew, there was nothing that could create such a scene with just one sword.

… … Even if it is a sword master who is said to have transcended humans.

A calm voice came to Wilford’s ears as he gazed at the place where the mountain used to be.

“I would have told you to spread the shield.”

“… … ah.”

Suddenly, when I came to my senses, I saw that the mountain had collapsed, and the wreckage was coming down with an enormous amount of dust. To the point where that calm voice feels like a lie.

In the end, Wilford moved his mana reflexively, following a distant consciousness.

Quagwagwagwa-!

And immediately after, the approaching pile of dirt covered the top of the shield.

* * *

Viscount Vlado pursed his lips as he listened to the news.

“That was the cause of my anxiety.”

The horrors of the State Council. And the two nobles who were captured by only a few dozen minutes apart.

Perhaps the royal family had been monitoring their movements from the beginning. And he must have induced a meeting after making him think that his attention was focused on it.

It meant that the anxiety he was feeling came from none other than surveillance.

“… … To be stupid.”

Viscount Vlado’s body leaned back leisurely as he sat in the chair.

Well, how nice it would have been if you had followed when you sensed the anomaly.

They just treat it like a tilt… … Just like a pony living for a day, he seemed to be in a hurry to enjoy the present.

So he must have been captured without even resisting.

“No, I guess I’m safe thanks to that.”

It’s true that arresting them and cleaning up gave me time to escape, so I should be thankful.

Of course, even if they were captured, nothing changed.

“After all, only Count Asus knew the location of this house.”

In the end, only he who escaped will be left as the final victor.

It was the moment when I smiled as I enjoyed the wine I hadn’t been able to finish before.

“Excuse me.”

kiik-

An attendant entered the room where he was staying. And that’s the news he’s been waiting for.

“Viscount, the guide just arrived.”

“hmm!”

… … You mean that?

Viscount Vlado’s lips drew an arc.

“It hasn’t been long since I sent the communication, but it seems that you know the seriousness of this situation.”

“That’s right. He is waiting for you at the entrance of your house.”

“Let’s go right away.”

Viscount Vlado hurriedly put down his wine glass and stood up.

Then, along the complicated corridors, I went to the place where ‘they’ were waiting.

“Huh… … !”

But when he saw the man in the distance, he couldn’t contain a deep astonishment.

No, maybe it was natural. This is because the person who came to him was a bigger person than expected.

Viscount Ilsoon’s body leaned respectfully.

“It is an honor to meet you, the sword of protection, Your Excellency, Marquis of Kalos.”

A huge shield and heavy armor as large as the body.

… … And the gaze of a transcendent without even a slight movement.

He was one of the Sword Masters leading the Federation Empire.

‘sh*t… … .’

Cold sweat broke out on Blado’s forehead as he looked down at the floor. It happened just by facing that depthless gaze.

‘Why is such a person here… … .’

Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to take out just one person?

Besides, the current Viscount Vlado was in a position to receive help. It also causes unforeseen nuisance.

A heavy, cold voice descended upon the viscount’s head.

“This is a place where security must be maintained until the very end. You know there will be a chase, but you go ahead and find it, it’s crazy.”

“I’m sorry. However, I didn’t think that even the first prince would be able to find this place… … .”

“I have already lost an aisle because of that complacency. Even more so, this is the place where the 4th prince put a lot of effort into. Did you think you could use it freely just because it was managed by you?”

‘… … You lost an aisle?’

The Viscount lowered his head even deeper and muttered inwardly.

Perhaps that was why he, the sword master, had come to visit.

Of course, what he said after that didn’t flow in vain.

“I know how big of a risk it is for the 4th prince to accept me. But since they already knew, there was no way.”

“Know.”

The Marquis of Carlos clicked his tongue and replied.

It’s because he knows too well.

Despite such an incident, sending a guide to Viscount Vlado was only possible because he managed this place diligently.

A messy situation inside and out. Because it was a pity to miss even the smallest gap.

Marquis of Kalos slowly. Even so, it growled low, as if warning.

“The 4th prince has shown you mercy, but I will not let you act rashly.”

“Hey, do you have any idea?”

“Live in the land of Carrot, hiding for the rest of your life. That is the last mercy the 4th prince commands.”

At this, the viscount, who had been bowing, lifted his head.

“Then, the troops remaining here… … .”

“Are you qualified to ask such a thing?”

“I’m sorry.”

I could feel cold sweat trickling down my nose.

It has reached the stage where fear dominates the body.

“Get your stuff and come out. I will guide you directly to the passage to the empire.”

“Go, thank you!”

So the Viscount bowed his head and turned around.

Of course, he had no way of knowing that the reason why he was able to survive was that the troops raised by the 4th prince were annihilated.

In other words, because it is useful, preferential treatment was given at the end.

But that was the moment.

“… … !”

The face of the Marquis began to harden slowly.

He moved quickly, grabbed the Viscount by the nape of his neck, and raised his shield.

and.

Kwakwagwagwang!

“Gagging!”

A tremendous shock came flying with a roar.

That was the last situation Viscount Vlado confirmed before passing out.

* * *

The time that was as short as it was long passes by.

The debris swept away by the impact of the collapse had already slipped past the barrier.

It was only around the time when the dust had finally settled that I opened my mouth in satisfaction.

“As expected, it was good that you brought the wizard.”

“… … Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

If it had been this much of a mess, I don’t know, but it wouldn’t have ended at the level of getting my clothes dirty.

I’m used to drinking the dust, but I didn’t want to get caught up in it.

‘Well, it’s clear that the baron will go wild.’

I said to the sub-top owner, who sat down and took a deep breath.

“Remove the shield.”

“Ah, I see.”

Whoa-!

The magic power that remained in the form of a dome slowly disappeared.

It was only then that he was able to see the collapsed mountain through his clear vision.

Of course, the first thing that came out was ridicule.

“Funny.”

A mountain that collapsed beyond recognition.

And inside it, we could see a tangled structure like an ant nest.

Of course, it was out of shape, but at least there was no way I wouldn’t be able to recognize that it was artificially built.

Wilford sees it and jumps up.

“I-that… … !”

On the contrary, my lips were crookedly raised.

“It’s Asus’s secret mansion.”

“… … !”

From noble mtl dot com.

Did I mention that the trail seems to have sunk into the ground?

It’s really sunk into the ground, so there’s no way you’ve been able to find it until now.

“Somehow, I didn’t get caught in the mood.”

“No, nonsense… … How can you do that in the ground… … !”

“The ant nest. Well, it’s a suitable habitat for them.”

I took a leisurely look at it, not paying attention to the astonishment.

A large amount of iron fragments and corpses washed away with the landslide. It seemed that the troops he was training were all crushed and dead.

Seeing that figure reminded me of something, so I shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s the same technology that created the smuggling passage.”

Construction using wizards.

Presumably, that one was obviously made in a similar way.

If so, this ‘secret mansion’ must also mean that the Federation Empire was involved.

by the way… … .

‘If you’ve been swept away like this, it’s going to be difficult to find what you’re looking for.’

I laughed and rummaged through the mounds of dirt that had been swept away for no reason.

This place, far away, was the best.

It’s probably that the front is covered with dozens of meters of dirt.

It’s a pity, but sooner or later I thought I’d have to ask my father to call in archaeologists.

… … But before that.

“Stay here.”

“yes?”

“Don’t show yourself prematurely.”

I kicked the ground without listening to the back story.

And did he move to the point where he could barely see the appearance of the butupapju?

In the distance, I encountered a figure digging through the dirt and jumping up.

“… … Keugh!”

“Oh, that’s quite right. To get out of there.”

I came because I felt a strong familiar energy momentarily, but the person who really jumped out of there was a person familiar to me.

Well, should I say it’s a bit surprising… … .

“You are the Marquis of Kalos of the Federation Empire.”

“This, the first prince… … !”

The boy’s condition was not very good.

The guy whose whole body was covered in blood, pressed by his crumpled armor, barely survived.

The eyes exposed between the erected shield and heavy armor were astonished.

Perhaps it seemed that he still did not understand the situation.

Because a mountain collapsed without a sign, like an explosion.

‘… … By the way, I didn’t expect to meet him here.’

The Sword Master of the Federation Empire.

I knew the guy pretty well. That would be the case, because he had a history of fighting against him in the war.

Was it then called the sword of protection as it is now? Certainly, I remember that his skill at using a shield was quite good, befitting his nickname.

‘Looking at it here, it looks like there was a passage nearby.’

While raising my lips like that, I suddenly saw a figure standing next to his shield and my eyes lit up.

“Viscount Vlado?”

Surprisingly, the figure wriggling like that corpse was undoubtedly Viscount Vlado.

… … That too. what i was looking for

“Did you save him?”

“… … Keugh!”

“Oh, this is a rather unexpected harvest.”

The corners of my lips curled even longer.

There was no other reason.

That’s why we don’t have to call in archaeologists to find his body.

visor-!

“One Prince! How did you get here!”

Meanwhile, Marquis Carlos, who had come to his senses, drew out his longsword and shouted as if on alert.

It seems that he did not even assume that it was me who did this.

If it was natural, it was natural.

He wouldn’t have felt any energy from me.

… … As if he couldn’t feel the magical power of a higher rank wizard.

But even so, they are clearly wary of my appearance.

Are you saying you’re a master? Sensibly, it seems that I feel something intimidating me.

Should I say that this guy is outstanding, or should I see it as my fault for not unconsciously hiding my energy from the unexpected harvest?

‘It doesn’t matter anyway.’

the result will be the same

I shrugged and said calmly.

“Your tone is arrogant for something like a marquess to say to a prince from another country. Do the laws of the Empire follow those of the barbarians?”

“A foreign prince? How dare you ask such a thing in this situation! You are insane!”

“… … Well, definitely.”

A sword master of the Federation Empire had already been found in Esteban’s land.

Even with the fugitive Viscount Vlado. If so, it was as if the conversation had already ended.

“… … It’s just fine. I don’t know what you’ve done, but you don’t seem to feel anything around you. If only I could kill you!”

Woo-woo-!

A cloud of blue light broke out between the deep sunken eyes of the boy.

It was the exclusive possession of the Sword Master, the Aura Blade.
